Leonard Maltin's Rating :

IMDB Rating : 7.9
Rotten Tomatoes Rating : 91%
Written by Quentin Tarrantino and directed by Tony Scott, True Romance is an action filled adventure movie in a world inhabited by a tremendous cast of secondary characters.
Dennis Hopper, Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini and Samuel L. Jackson all have interesting and exciting roles. The two young loves, played by Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette bounce off of one set of crazy, compelling characters and then run into the next set.

Leonard says in his lukewarm review : "A 90's twist on the young-lovers-on-the-lam genre, with hedonism, highly stylized (but potent) violence, and colorful supporting characters the main ingredients."
I think that this is a movie that has really aged well. An exciting, rewarding movie watching experience.
